Photo Betsy Dynako May 2008 2552 In the Senior Women's World Championship , former U.S. Women's Champion WIM Esther Epstein scored 7.5/11, just a half point shy of first place, which was won by WFM Tamara Vilerte of Latvia. American players Albert Kapengut and Jude Acers also finished well in the Open, with 7 points each. Check for more details on CLO soon, including thoughts from Larry after the closing ceremony. There is a controversy related to incorrect tiebreak information posted on the official website. CLO will keep you updated if this changes any of the above, but because Larry was declared champion after round 11, it is unlikely that this will affect Larry's GM title. |
